The world of public information has been severely affected by the disproportionate increase in fake news, due to the uncontrolled impulse that social networks have given them.

The problem is complex because it involves the entire society, regardless of cultural levels, ideologies, or socio-economic conditions. Such is the impact of this situation that the traditional journalistic media have found it difficult to unravel the truth in an incessant whirlwind of confusing information without support from the facts.

Everyone has a  favorite television program they've enjoyed once or several times in the past. What’s your best TV show of All Time?

Warning: Anyone can be made to look good on the screen. Think Trump on TV. If everyone knew this before the election we would not have had to endure the chaos and ugliness of the last few years.

Now with AI, viewers have to watch closely, take special care, and beware. Before there was streaming, which ones do you think were the best new shows before we began to binge-watch or stream on Netflix, Hulu, Max aka HBO, and more?

JOURNALISM

Last year, at least 88 journalists were killed for simply doing their jobs. This is a sharp increase from the preceding years.

The current conflict in the Media East is taking a horrific toll on journalists. We are deeply alarmed by these figures and by the rise in threats of all kinds against journalists.

On this International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, #CityImages recognizes all media professionals who risk their health and lives to keep us informed and to keep the truth alive.
